Ok, this is really heating up. Even some guys just want to add fuel to the fire just because most of them hated the ending and someone wants DMC5 now just because the ending is mediocre? You have your opinions, but please keep it for yourselves. Please don't shove it in my mouth. What I saw on some people is childish and even arrogant. I don't like it. It's no different from the guys on Youtube and even GameFAQs. And you're making this community as a cesspool? Please, never try to drag this down to a lower level.
Actually, I liked DmC's ending. I know some of you here call it lame, but what I care is where Dante will grow as a character. Sometimes, the comparison of this and the DMC3 ending can be weak because some of them based DmC's ending from the whole game itself, on how the characters were developed. DMC3 only got the supplementary manga for further explanation. So DragonMaster2010 has a point sometimes on why there is no build-up.
Oh yeah, my favorite scene is where Dante stopped killing Vergil (thanks to Kat) and then Dante extends his hand to Vergil and the latter took it. And he told him, "This world is under my protection now." And after a few words, Vergil left on his own, way different than how it's done in DMC3. This is from someone who isn't biased of the original and loves both, accepting flaws and whatnot. DmC is more like a clash of ideals while DMC3 has some Inuyasha vibes on it.
Can't wait for Vergil's Downfall. It's a DLC but it extends the DmC story with Vergil as the main. So I dunno why some will call it mediocre. I love the DMC3:SE and you play as Vergil BUT all of 20 missions are from Dante's! At least I enjoy it.
So I have no problems on DmC's ending. Can't wait to play it.
